Trying to get pregnant? Tell your loser boyfriend to stop smoking pot Men in their childbearing years (aged up to about 45) should think twice before lighting up while trying to conceive.
What do tobacco smoke, pesticides, flame retardants, obesity, and marijuana have in common? The ability to alter the DNA of men’s sperm. As legal access to cannabis expands across North America, more scientists are turning their attention to the drug’s active ingredient, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). New research from Duke Health suggests men in their childbearing years (aged up to about 45) should think twice before lighting up while trying to conceive. Experiments in rats and a study with 24 men found that THC targets genes in two major cellular pathways, and alters DNA methylation, a process essential to normal development. Whether genetic changes can be reversed or may be passed on…

Yes, abortion is murder—but do you really want to hand a psycho a baby? If she doesn’t want, and is prepared to MURDER a baby, how can you even think of giving a woman like that a baby to take care of?
I find this whole “is it a baby” debate to be frankly, quite fucking retarded. OF COURSE IT’S A BABY! Duh times eleventy fucking million! We’re not talking about IF its a baby (it is) but rather, who has the right to kill a baby? Grandma? Nope. Daddy? Nope, sorry. Doctors? Well, sometimes, yeah. What are the criteria doctors use to determine whether or not to withdraw life support from a baby, or really, ANY OTHER HUMAN BEING? It has to do with neural activity. Is the brain alive? Is there an “I” in there? Can you think? Can you feel? Yes? Congratulations, you’re a person. Why should it be…

It Happened To Me: I tried to trick my ex into getting me pregnant My motivation was not to “trap” Alex in any way. I merely wanted someone to replace him.
OK, I know. The title makes me sound like a horrible person — and you’re absolutely right if you’re thinking that was an awful thing to do. It was! I guess my objective here is to paint myself as a relatable character, if not a sympathetic one. When I was 21 years old, I was a mess. My father had died of a drug overdose a little over a year before, and both of my grandmothers passed away that same year. My mother was in the middle of a messy divorce from my verbally abusive stepfather, and I was in the middle of a break-up with my boyfriend of nearly…
